Housing Needs Survey for Grantchester

This survey is being carried out to assess housing need in the parish of Grantchester. Your Parish Council is supporting this independent survey which is being carried out by Cambridgeshire ACRE. Through this survey we hope to identify all those existing and potential households in Grantchester who cannot afford to rent or buy a home on the open market. However, we are also interested in the demand for self-build and market housing.

The results will help decide whether there is a need for affordable housing in the parish and, if so, the type of affordable housing that would best meet local needs so it is important that as many people as possible take part.

The first part of this survey should be completed by all households (even those who either don’t have a housing need and those already on the Housing Register / registered with Home-Link). If you indicate that you might have a housing need, you will be asked to complete a further section to collect information on your circumstances.

A separate survey needs to be completed for each new household that will be formed so, for example, if you have two adult children in your house who each need a new home, then each adult child must complete a survey - just share the link to the survey with them so they can access it and complete for themselves.
 
This survey has been made accessible to every household in the parish. We would also like to reach those who have moved away from Grantchester but who would like to return for family or work reasons. If you know anyone fitting this criteria, please pass on the link to this online survey so they might complete it.
 
The survey will close on Friday 26 September 2025. 
 
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Russell Moore, Rural Housing Enabler on 01353 865040 or email him at Russell.Moore@cambsacre.org.uk.
 
All information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Your views on affordable housing in Grantchester and the suitability of your current home

We are interested in your views on the principle of providing affordable homes for local people in your parish. Please use the comments section to explain your response.

 

Would you be in favour of a small development of affordable homes specifically for people with a local connection to Grantchester? (Any potential development would be wholly or largely affordable homes – rental or shared ownership. Any private homes would be the minimum required to make the scheme deliverable.)

 

Is your current home suitable for your household?
Please indicate whether you or any member of your household (eg. older children or other dependents) is in housing need by answering this question. You should look ahead up to the next five years when answering this question

 

If you answered 'No' to the previous question, please tell us why not - you can tick as many reasons as apply to you.
